They exclaim- •d with one voice that all they wanted was for the affairs of the government to be honestly conducted and for the «outh to have a chance to show how «nu<$ shs loved the Union. And yet, •strange to «ay, they don't appear to Hike Bayee any better than Grant, and ju«t as anxious for a "change." >fl9»We liem-d «*ie of the old Demo­ crats, last Tuesday, who had quit vot­ ing for Jack«©»i to«g enough to "come (to tlie tConventreiL, remark that "dera- •ooracy M'lookmg up in McHenry Coun­ ty.-" 'ffcrietemiiedftus of what an old Metlm<Kst cShontev said down In the Hoop P«8e ®tetmiotof Indiana, about religion.

General Hancock has at last been constrained by the pressure of the pub­ lic sentiment to write a letter, public­ ly disclaiming all desire or inclina­ tion to pay tiie "Southern War Claims,7 The letter is very sensible and will probably serve to decrease the ardor of his support at the South. Whether heiwould be able to live up to his lofty professions if he should really be elect­ ed to the Presidency is far from being eertainty. a stream cannot raise above Its fountain;and It is hardly difficult for an officer to raise above the wishes and expectations of those to whose support he owea bis promotion. If any Republican journals were largely circulated at the South the Republican party might And It as much for their interest to circulate this last production among Southern Democrats as it lias been to publish the extrava­ gant utterances of ulta seccessionlsts, at the North. Southern Democrats have expected and publicly asserted that the payment of these "Claims" would be among the fruits of a Demo­ cratic victory, and if the result should not justify their expectations some­ body would b» greatly disappointed. Much as we are gratified that pub­ lic sentiment has at last extorted this renunciation from the Democratic nominee, we are still more thankful that there is a candidate for the Pres­ idency who finds no occasion for such an announcement. General Garfield and his party are above all suspicion of favoring these unreasonable claims npon the public treasury. General Hancock's letter, like that of his pre- desessor. Governor Tilden.grew out of a personal realisation of the fact that his party was far from being above suspicion in this respect. His extrava­ gant assertion that "Nobody expects or waijts such unnatural action." will by no means bear investigation. It Is a well known fact that these claiihs. to the amount of over a thousand mil­ lions of dollars, have been drawn up in form tor presentation. This would never have been done if their holders did not want them to be paid, and cherish a hope that at some future time tliey would be paid. Men do not act without motives; and only one mo­ tive can be conjectured for such act- tion as this. The motive roust be Ihe wish, the hope, the antic Ipation that with the return to power of the Demo­ cratic party these claims will be ^gated. sectional rA..e, ,i°y the dl ,CUMlon of consider it of paVff. th* contrary we that the people of this lm«>0"RI,®e bound together by a unity of*®i»®n ^ ® thy and interest. But politicans musi deal with facts; and facts are very stub­ born tilings. The presentation of these claims is something for which the Republican party is not responsible, and something which loyal citizens of all political parties ougl\t not to de­ sire. Nevertheless they are facts; and just so long as these claims remain in array, a menace to the treasury of the United States, they will prove a bar to the ascendency of the Democratic party In the councils of the nation. The New York Tribune publishes a history of the efforts made to extort from General Hancock an avowal of his opposition to these Sonthern claims, and a list of twenty-four Demo­ cratic Congressmen who have Intro­ duced measures to promote the pay­ ment of rebel claims, and thus have, according to General Hancock, "In­ sulted the honor and Intelligence of our people." VRK NUT SKNATK. The present senate of- the United States consists of seventy-six mem­ bers. of whom forty-two are Demo­ crats, thirty-two are republicans, and two independents. One of these In­ dependents (Davis, of Illinois,) may be classed as a democrat, and the other, (Booth, of California,) may be classed as a republican, leaving the senate divided politically; republi­ cans, thirty-three. Democrats 43. The official term of twenty-five sena­ tors expires on March 3,1881. These senators are the following: Dcttwcral*-- Eaton, Connecticut; Bayard, HP . . - Dele wart;, Jones, Florida; McDonald, In­ diana; Whyle, Maryland; Cocfcrcll. Missouri; Randolph, "New Jersey ; Kernan, New York; 'i'liurman, Ohio; Wallace, Pennsylvania; Bailey, Tennessee; Maxev, Texas; withers, Virginia; llerefont, West Virginia. Republican.--lU>oth, California; Hamlin, Maine; Dawes, Massac hu setts; Baldwin, Michigan; McMillan, Minnesota; Bruce, Mis­ sissippi; Paddock, Nebraska;Sharon;Nevada Bnrnttide. Rhode Island; Edmunds, Vermont; Cameron, Wisconsin. Successors to these gentlemen have already been elected in Maryland, Ohio, Mississippi, Rhode .Island, Ver­ mont and Virginia. Maryland has elected Gortnan, democrat, to succeed Whyte, democrat; Ohio has elected Garfield, republican, to succeed Thur- man, democrat; Mississippi has elect­ ed a democrat to succeed Bruce, re­ publican ; Rhode Island has re-elected; Burnsitie, Vermont has re-elected Ed­ munds, and Virginia has elected Malione. independent-democrat, in place of Withers, democrat. These changes balance the state of parties and leave it as it was before. Of the states to elect the coming winter the following may be considered as cer tain to elect republican senators: Connecticut, Maiue, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ne­ vada, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin--ten; and the following as certain to elect democratic senators: Delaware, Florida, Missouri, Tennes­ see. Texas and West Virginia--six.-- This will leave the state of parties in the senate aft or March 3,1881, as fol­ lows: BARGAINS --FOR THE PEOPLE-- Senators holding over.

Whai do they suppose the Republican voters of the 8th Senatorial District care for the opinion of the Democrats in rela­ tion f their candidates? (n doing this the Republican is toadying for democratic votes for its bolting can­ didate, Klrlc. Senator Joslyn is the regular eaadidate of the Republican party of the Sth District, and as such will receive all the Republican votes In McHenry County, aud three fifths of those of Lake County. If this bolter, Kirk, is eopopular among the Demo­ crats, why iid they not nominate him at their convention on Tuesday? But evidently the editor of the RepubU- eon is absent minded. His conversion to Republicanism is so recent that he has not forgotten many of his Demo­ cratic tricks, most prominent of which appears to be misrepresentation. The voters of Lake County, outside of Waukegan, are too well acquainted with the tricks of the Ring to be caught In this trap. Total 38 3ft Leaving as uncertain and to be de­ termined after close contents, Califor­ nia, Indiaua, New Jersey--three. The Democrats are certain to have thirty- eight Senators--exactly one-half tbe Senate--the Republicans to have thir­ ty-five Senators, and .the other three places to be heard from. If Indiaua shall in October give Porter even 2,500 majority, the Legislmure of that State will be .Republican. New Jersey does not vote until November, and that State, in all probability, will not sep" arateitself from Ne# York or Con- " "out, where Republican success is assure^. California there would be no question a& ... 0 'he election of a publican Senator we<v. _ , , , ,. . , , .not for mixed condition of local Re- the iC8 C8* pecially on the question of members of the Legislature. If Re­ publican Senators shall be elected in these three States, then the Senate af­ ter March 3d will be a tie, the Vice- President to be elected having the casting vote. 16^Last year the Democrats In Maine almost involved that State in civil war by their efforts to fraudu­ lently count out the Republican can­ didates for Wove rnor and the legisla­ ture because of some slight Inaccur­ acies In spelling the nances of the can­ didates. If the Republicans should adopt the same line of policy this year, then the Fusion ticket would be de­ feated by a clear majority of 1193. The returns show that Plaisted's name was Improperly spelled on 1470 ballots, while the same kind of mistake on the Bepublicau side only shows 175 misspell •d ballots. But the Republican party respects the rights of the people and will take no advantage of these tech­ nical inaccuracies. Plaisted will receive aCaircouut for every vote cast for htm. This gives the. Fusionists a plur­ ality over Davis of 102. In Maine the candidate for Governor must have a gear major*ty over all the candidates •*sr*to2$eld. otherwise the legislature •hen the on Governor. As the legisla- Vs ^,an two*thlrds Republi- 08 Hiouses the electipn of aqpeoial ajenfc i , _ ,, r • of Vat lar^l tQTLake County insists that a fair understanding was bad between lead­ ing Republicans in the two counties ei^bt years ago. and that in pursuance of that understanding, the alternation of the Senatorship between the two counties should continue. It insists that the resolution of Capt, Coon, in­ troduced at the Convention four years ago, was a renewal of that agreement. -- Waukegan Gazette. The plea that any set of delegates to a Convention can make an agree- meat that will be binding on a Con­ vention eight years hence, is simply child's talk As regards the resolution introduced four years ago by Capt, Coon, we leave our readers to judge for themselves. Below is the resolu­ tion in full: Wherea*. The Senator from this district has lor the last four years been from Lake County. Therefore, Resolved, That the nominee for Senator be conceded to Mclleury County, to he selected by the delegates therefrom, and thntthe nom­ inees for Representatives !»'< selected by the delegates from their respective counties. We claim that there Is nothing in the above that cou!d even be construed into the meaning the Gazette attempts to attach to It. But let us look at this matter in the light of reason. When Lake and Mcllenry Counties came to­ gether as a Senatorial District, the Senator was chosen from Lake County- and four years ago. at the end of Judge Upton's term, McHenry County recog­ nizing the fact that one who had rep­ resented his constituents well, should, in justice to the people as well as him­ self, be elected a second term, were willing to concede a re-noinination to Senator Upton. But he positively re­ fused to allow his name to be used and as a new man was to be chosen, McHenry County presented the name of Mr. Joslyn and he was unanimously nominated. That he represented his constituents ably and honestly, no one can deny, and McHenry County claims that he is justly entitled to a second term. We do not believe that any un­ prejudiced man can see anything un­ fair in this. McHenry County only asks what she was willing to concede to Lake four years ago, and what she believes to be for the best interest* of the entire District.

The Democratic Senatorial Convention, which met in this village on Tuesday, not to be outdone by any party, put in nomination a double- headed ticket for State Senator. It appears that "largest potatoe" again claimed the largest share of the gravy" and the consequence was Lake County will"go it alone." The tickets nominated were as follows: McHenry County--For Senator, W. S. Searles, of Waukegan. For Repre­ sentative, James Thompson, Chemung. Lake County--For Senator. E. M. Haines, of Waukegan.
